Rhythm Roulette: Oh No

In celebration of Oh No and Alchemist producing the score for Rockstar Video Game's GTAV, we present to you a flip on Rhythm Roulette. GTAV soundtrack in stores now on CD and vinyl.
While each producer has a unique spin on how they sample, Oh No’s Rhythm Roulette is truly one of a kind, as he took to a video game store and selected three Nintendo 64 games to sample from. Using sounds from NWO/WCW Revenge, Karate Champ, and Nascar ’99, Oh No had his work cut out for him. However, he didn’t stress one bit, and proceeded to play all the games, then make a beat out of the sounds he recorded during gameplay.

Much respect to Oh, one of my personal favorite producers and hands down one of the underrated ones too. From being part of Stones throw to making beats for Talib Kweli, Danny Brown, and many more. Shitt even making music for GTAV. One of the finest from the Westcoast forget Dj Mustard.

[@dynamicsamurai3803]

Hey its that dude that replied on my comment way back when ! Anyways, I feel you guys v.v dude is hella wack, I don't understand how he "stands out" from other producers, first he adapts sounds from Atlanta & Bay area I understand that, but making the same beat more than once with three keys and a annoying chant, while dudes like Oh who actually seems dedicated kick dust. It sucks..

I liked the idea of sampling N64 games and the result was decent. But what kind of dirty ghetto ass kind of studio was that. It was fuckin filthy.

[@reesenamsaiyan9091]

he keep his stuff "ghetto", that's how he likes it (that's actually quoted from a RBMA lecture he did)

[@Kabalyst]

I can get keeping it ghetto but I don't see this being easy to use, no real workflow. Plus there's all that trash and roaches next to the gear. That's just nasty. My flat is filthy so no real judging here but my studio is fuckin clean as shit. I just respect my gear I guess.

[@Mattia_22]

Its inspiring :)

[@BlackWolf-ec5un]

You call it dirty and filthy, but to him it's comfortable. I been there in that studio many times, its comfort over anything. To that dude that said he is a whack producer, uh what have you done? He is one of very few producers producing for producers. That quick ass beat he made was for fun purposes, nothing more. Hate is real, it's a shame how you don't need a finger pointed at you to know you hate. Both my cousins Oh No and Madlib do their things, history speaks for itself!
